The Adventures of a Christian Mom, Grandma and cancer surviver!

Just before we started serving the food last night – the lovely lady with me cooked all of the spaghetti & meatballs. We had a good evening – the weather held; I’m guessing we had about 50-60 people attending. LOTS of leftovers! The kids loved it – strange thing: I was the only one to make brownies – made two 9 X 13″ pans frosted w/Christmas sprinkles. We had TONS of cookies – almost all the same kind: sugar with sprinkles or frosting (if that was your ‘thing’ you were in cookie heaven!) I didn’t even get a taste of my brownies – they went fast!

Just heard the weather report for tomorrow: 6-8/9 inches of the white stuff! YUCK! SOooooo glad I don’t have to be anywhere! Husband & I went for our ‘regular’ (every 3 month) doctor check up – I’m doing just fine! YAY! (that’s what I thought, too, but it’s nice to have your doctor confirm it!). Did a little shopping, so we’re ‘good’ if we get the snow – even stopped & bought a paperback so I have something to read!

NOTE: This chili can also be
frozen. Cool chili first & place
in freezer containers. To use:
partially thaw in refrigerator
overnight. Heat through in a
saucepan, stirring occasionally
& adding a little broth or water
if necessary.

*If you don’t have buttermilk:
Place 1 T. vinegar or lemon
juice in a 1-cup measuring cup &
fill with enough milk to reach the
1/2 C. line. Stir & let stand 5
minutes – now you have buttermilk!

====================

Just put a phone call in to our man
who plows our driveway, asking him to
please MAKE SURE & plow our drive if
we get over 3 inches (last time we probably
had 2 & he didn’t come….sigh). I’ve mentioned
before that we have a short, rather steep drive
so if there’s any amount of snow on it, it becomes
VERY difficult to get up it so plowing really helps.

Hope you are all in good health & enjoying this
beginnings of February – hard to believe we’re
already into the second month of the new year!
